It was an interesting and sleepless night between the high nighttime temperature of 67ºF, 30 mph winds gusting to ~40mph whipping through the trees and driving torrential downpours against the windows. “Heat” lightning added to the excitement. Then the cold front rolled through with increasing wind and temperatures dropping down to 42ºF in 6 hours. It was clear and sunny skies as this high pressure system is building in. We lost power just after I got out of the shower this morning. As I drove down to the “Big City” for my dental appointment I saw that one of our neighbor’s old trees had taken out the roadside powerlines. I shopped for groceries while my pharmacy straightened out an insurance screwup with a new prescription. By the time I got home it was time to move some wood indoors because I will need the wood stove tomorrow morning. The wind is still blowing 25 - 30mph with gusts around 40mph. The temperature did get as high as 45ºF this afternoon which is as I post. I should see temperatures drop into the mid20ºF’s tonight/tomorrow morning. Almost time for Happy Hour.
BEF- I am sorry to read about the open window and possibly ruined floor. I had two barely opened windows in my BR. It was blowing so hard at times that the windows started whistling, but no water blew inside.
David- “When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions”- Claudius in Shakespeare play, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene V.” I am sorry to read about your failing battery bank and your Tundra. We had/have a similar, but much less expensive tale of woe: We replaced all our leaky home made windows replaced with first generation triple pane energy efficient windows. The inner film clouded, the panes started leaking, and the hardware started breaking. The local company went bankrupt. We need to replace all the windows again.
Hawkeye- I am happy to read that you that you were able to find some relief from your back pain and further mending. For different reasons I spend part of most evenings girdled into my easychair to prevent further wear and tear on my ribcage from coughing. I am also relieved to read you are managing your respiratory illness.
Thomas- I wish your Wife a happy birthday and that she have many more in health and happiness…. You too. I hope you have a great meal out together.
An interesting day today for a lot of us… some + some not so +
My + thoughts, wishes, and prayers.
